Swansea

"I stayed on that Worm from dusk to midnight, sitting on that top grass, frightened to go further in because of the rats and because of things I am ashamed to be frightened of. Then the tips of the reef began to poke out of the water and, perilously, I climbed along them to the shore."
- Dylan Thomas.








I've recently moved to UK, more specifically South Wales, in a picturesque town of Swansea. It came as a great surprise that the town is located just a stone's throw away from the Gower peninsula, with beautiful country side and magnificent beaches, probably the best in UK, and even amongst the best in Europe, according to some people.
I can't really describe myself as sand beach person, but put some nice cliffs around them and you get something we can discuss about. Being used to warm waters of Mediterranean I can describe my first impressions of Wales from the seaside to it's highlands as kind of weird version of low Slovenian mountains (like mt. Nanos and similar) surrounded by a huge lake and sandy beaches. No snow, though which could be considered as a plus.  
So I am looking forward to some nice weekend over-nights around Wales.
